Camden County Mobile Food Pantry served 467 Families this Month

Volunteers Include Your Lake Vacation Owner, Russell Burdette


Your Lake Vacation is a locally owned, family business dedicated to providing visitors an exceptional experience in one of the many private homes or condos at the Lake of the Ozarks that the company manages.  Our hope is that we will be able to serve you and your family as well as we would our own family.  In addition to his dedication to his clients, our owner Russell Burdette is dedicated to helping the community and is very active in many local organizations. Every month, Russell takes time out of his busy work schedule to help with the Mobile Food Pantry in Camdenton, MO.

The Lighthouse Mission partnered with The Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri to continue bringing food to Camden County after the Beacon of Hope pantry closed its doors in August.  Addressing hunger issues is a huge part of the Lighthouse Mission's vision for expanding their community support services.  According to the 2011 census, the population of Camden County is approximately 42,834.  Feeding America reported that 13 percent of Camden County lives in poverty, 6.380 people live with food insecurity, and 2,270 children live with hunger issues every day.

This past Friday, the Mobile Food Pantry served 467 families, 1281 individuals, and 416 individuals 18 and under!  That is amazing! The Lighthouse Mission is located at 20 Show Me Lane in Camdenton, MO.  The Mobile Food Pantry operates the 2nd Friday of every month from 1-5 PM. The food is free to those in need and more volunteers are always welcome. Recipients should bring a photo ID, and proof of residency such as a utility bill with name and current address. They should also bring their own boxes, bags or baskets to carry the items.        
For more information about the Mobile Food Pantry distribution or for information about volunteering, please contact Bob Willis, program coordinator at Lighthouse Mission.  Give him a call at 573-286-1835 or visit www.lhministry.org.

Corporate Social Responsibility is changing the way many consumers see businesses. According to a study by Cone Communications and Echo Research, 82 percent of U.S. consumers consider corporate social responsibility when deciding which products or services to buy and where to shop. Companies such as Your Lake Vacation, encourage community involvement to distinguish themselves from their competitors.  Giving back to the community can help your business succeed, but nothing compares to the feeling you get when you know you have helped someone in need! Consider getting your business involved in the community today!
